The 616 in my '75 W115 died this afternoon. Thing Two was driving it about 45mph, heard a 'poof' and saw the oil pressure go to zero. She killed the engine and coasted to the side of the road.

AAA just dropped it off here at Area 51...plenty of oil in the crankcase but there's a place on the underside of the hood where oil has sprayed against it...almost like excessive blowby.

I cranked it and it rolled over about 4-5 revolutions then locked up.

Hmmm....

This is a great month for old Benzos. My SDL just puked it's turbo oil seal last week.
